★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 20 reviews · 1.5 hours · from $39Top rated

Walk the Jardín Botánico Canario Viera y Clavijo with an English-speaking guide such as Tim or Artemis, then choose Old Town time, garden time, a downhill hike, or a paid Bandama Volcano photo stop. The easy guided walk covers Canarian plants, volcanic ravines, pine woods, and cacti in a small group of up to eight.

“Tim was our guide at the Botanic Gardens and he was very friendly and interesting. We saw lots of different birds and plants, which was great. Transport was by taxi each way so fast and convenient, especially as we happened to be staying at the hotel where the pickup point was located.”
